Sharon, The Hawk Who Morphed Into a Dove

My Pre-Shabbos Rant:

Isn't it amazing how compassionate Western media has been portraying Ariel Sharon this week? One year ago, that same media was calling him a war criminal, a murder, and a war monger. And today how do they see him? They now refer to him as Israel's "grandfather", a man of peace, and a war hero. What a difference a year can make. Kill terrorists your whole life and you're called a criminal, but expel thousands of Jews from their homes but once and you become an overnight global sensation.

The media is quick to forget, forgive, or just lie so they can sell papers. I too was suprised that the BBC have tippexed their scripts and the man they accussed of massacres in Lebanon is now a man of peace.
